On December 20, the Japanese army on the northern front began to move, and the protagonist of the last defeat, Isoya Ryosuke, launched an attack first, and the 10th Division was full of revenge for the last defeat. Full/Ben/Small/Say/Net

The 10th Division, which had been recuperating for a long time, was like a tiger out of a cage, and engaged in a fierce battle with the Feng Public Security Department of the 42nd Army in Qingya Village on Jiguan Mountain, and the southern part of Tianzhen in Tiantai Mountain and the 30th Army. The actual strength of the 42nd Army is only one division and one brigade, and the total strength is only 16,000 people, in the face of the crazy 10th Division, after three hours of hard fighting, it can not be supported, and the Chicken Crown Mountain is lost. Immediately, the 30th Army Tian Zhennan also gave up the camel's mouth and retreated to the top of the five old gods and Buddhas. Ryosuke Isoya succeeded in the attack, and was greatly excited, waving his troops to continue the attack.

Soon after the 10th Division launched the attack, the 14th Division and the 21st Division, which were responsible for the attack on the right flank, also launched an attack on the Third Army, the Third Army had a strong strength, more than twice that of the Second Army, and Han Fuyu's division had always been the elite main force of the former Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, and the direction of the department was known for its tenacity, and Sun Tongxuan and Cao Fulin were extremely eager to wash away the shame, and led all the troops to fight bravely and start a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

Seeing that the battle situation of his Second Group Army was unfavorable, Sun Lianzhong was a little anxious, and strictly ordered the troops not to retreat, and those who abandoned their positions without authorization were killed, and then the regiment commander who lost the Jiguan Mountain was shot to death.

After the start of the operation on the northern front, the Japanese army on the southern front also began to act. The former commander-in-chief of the enemy, General Hanedawara Nosuke, appointed by Shunroku Hata, had his headquarters in Bengbu.

The first Japanese army on the southern front to carry out operations was on the flank, the third division was on the right, the 106th division was on the left, the two divisions went out of the Mingguangchi River, and surrounded Dingyuan from the two roads, Liao Lei deployed according to the plan, and fought with the Japanese army in the mountains outside Dingyuan for a day, and then abandoned Dingyuan and retreated to Changfeng, and Li Xianzhou of the 92nd Division also led his troops to retreat to Zhuxiang south of Changfeng; The Japanese pursued the victory; Liao Lei continued to retreat westward without a fight, retreating to Huainan in the northeast, but the 92nd Army retreated to the southwest and joined up with the Anhui Security Fourth Brigade stationed in Hefei.

Liao Lei's style of play made the Japanese army very uncomfortable, Haneda had a feeling of hitting the cotton with a heavy fist, soft, not focused, he couldn't make up his mind whether to continue to attack westward, just when he hesitated, the 75th Army stationed in northern Jiangsu suddenly appeared in Tianchang, and then crossed the half tower to attack Lai'an west of Chuzhou.

The 75th Army is a northern Jiangsu army, in preparation for the Japanese landing in Haizhou, but the Japanese army does not seem to be interested in this, has not been taken, and even has no interest in northern Jiangsu, Li Pinxian asked Zhuang Jihua for the command of the 83rd Army and the 75th Army, and then deployed them in Gaoyou Baoying, Huainan War together, ordered them to quietly collect ships, after the main force of the Japanese army advanced westward, suddenly the 75th Army appeared on the west bank of Liangyou Lake, and then conquered Tianchang, and the Japanese army was taken by surprise.

Of course, Haneda could not sit idly by and watch Han Deqin's threat to the Jinpu line, so he quickly transferred the 111th Brigade of Liuhe from the 106th Division back to defend Chuzhou, and Toshiroku Hatatake sent a brigade from the Nanjing garrison to reinforce it, and Liuhe commanded a counterattack against the 75th Army. Zhou Zhe did not retreat like the Western Front, but engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army on the front line of Lai'an.

The 3rd Division that conquered Changfeng decided to continue the offensive, Liao Lei gave up Huainan and retreated to Shou County, Fujita Jin was unwilling to turn around and attack Fengtai, but he did not dare to despise the 21st Group Army in the south, and he decided to continue the attack, this time Liao Lei did not retreat, he fought fiercely with the pursuing Fujita in Shou County, and the 92nd Army formed a confrontation with the 106th Division north of Hefei.

After the Japanese army conquered Dingyuan, the frontal battle of Bengbu also began, the 6th and 18th Divisions launched an attack on Huaiyuan under the command of Gu Shoufu, and at the same time, Haneda personally supervised the battle, and the 9th and 13th Divisions began to force the crossing of the Whirlpool River.

At this point, the warm-up exercise is over, and the real fierce battle begins.

Hundreds of boats of all kinds swarmed towards the opposite bank, and the Japanese soldiers on the boat rowed hard, and the boats rushed to the opposite bank like arrows off the side, and the artillery fire of the counterattack on the opposite bank was weak, and it was completely suppressed by the Japanese army.

Halfway through the ship, a whole roar was heard in the sky, and a large number of planes flew into the battlefield and dived and bombed the Japanese troops in Bandu, and the Japanese air defense units on the shore immediately opened fire.

"Mom Laba! his grandma! Gao Zhihang, who rarely spoke rudely, couldn't help but curse after seeing clearly the Japanese air defense positions, saying that the Japanese air defense positions were all built in residential areas, and it was difficult to guarantee that the Chinese would not be accidentally injured if they wanted to attack.

"Commander, what should I do?" The anxious voices of the pilots of each plane came from the earphones, and Gao Zhihang gritted his teeth and ordered: "The first brigade will deal with those damn anti-aircraft guns, the second and third brigades will deal with the devils on the river, and the fourth brigade will look for the Japanese artillery positions." ”

"Blaze, blaze, pay attention, artillery observation, the Japanese artillery positions are in east longitude xxx, north latitude xxx, attack now, attack immediately!" The headset sent orders from the ground command, and the Chinese troops on the north bank of the river had artillery observers, and the air force had liaison officers to all departments, and these liaison officers could communicate directly with the air force front command.

"The four brigades, the Japanese artillery positions are in east longitude xxx, north latitude xxx, immediately attack." Gao Zhihang's voice was like the weather in December, as cold as ice.

"Understood."

"Understood."

……

"Blaze, blaze, small tadpoles found, number thirty, azimuth xxx, distance xxx, height xxxx."

"Destroyer brigade, immediately seize the height." Gao Zhihang calmly ordered, turned his head to look at the left front, Li Guidan's guy swung his wings, and quickly climbed high with his brigade and flew to the southeast.

The planes around Gao Zhihang quickly dwindled, divided into several units, and swooped towards their respective targets. He was most concerned about attacking the air defense position, and he knocked on the back seat of the pilot in front of him and signaled the other side to go a little to the east.

There are four Japanese air defense positions, three in the city, and one outside the city, and the fire from the muzzle of the cannon blooms black flowers in the sky, and these artillery fire looks dense on the ground, but it is relatively dispersed in the air, and the planes dive down along the gap, and a series of fires immediately rise on the ground, and the smoke from the explosion obscures the vision.

A plane roared and dived down, a string of shells flew out of the smoke, the wings burst into flames, the plane let out a strange scream, the pilot desperately tried to control the plane, but the plane spun and fell, Gao Zhihang always looked at the plane, he seemed to see the pilot in the burning cockpit making desperate efforts, "Parachute!" "Skydive!" Gao Zhihang couldn't help but shout, although he knew that parachuting at this altitude was no different from suicide, seeing that the plane was about to fall to the ground, the plane suddenly raised its head, and then crashed into the fortress of the dock.

The death of this pilot immediately aroused the morale of all the middle and first people on the ground and in the air, the resistance on the other side became more stubborn, and the artillery fire also suddenly became fierce.

Haneda was at an observation point near the ferry, silently watching the fierce battle on the river, the artillery fire on the opposite bank exploded violently near the riverbank, and the imperial soldiers braved the artillery fire to force their way ashore and launch an attack, but the Chinese front did not waver in the slightest.

"It's only been a year, and it's incredible that the ** army has become so powerful." Haneda silently sighed in his heart, after the Lugou Bridge Incident, he fought in China, participated in the Pingjin Operation, at that time the squadron collapsed, the imperial army was invincible, but the current squadron, even compared with the squadron three months ago, the combat style and tenacity of this unit are very different.

Haneda had a hunch that the battle on the Tsuura Road would be very difficult, and he had a fighting spirit in his heart, and it would be the glory of a samurai to defeat such an opponent.

"Order all units to continue to force the crossing," Haneda put down his binoculars, turned his head to the commander of the 13th Division, Ogisu Libing, and said: "Only if you are attacking fiercely here, can you attract all the attention of the ** army and create conditions for Yoshizumi Ryosuke to cross the river." ”

"Hay!" The Ogishu Libing replied that Haneda's forced crossing at the Bengbu Ferry was just a tactic to lure the enemy, the purpose was to attract the attention of the squadron, and then the Ninth Division would carry out the forced crossing at Linhuai Pass.

The 3rd Division, despite the casualties, continued to force the crossing, and after paying a huge price, finally established a beachhead on the opposite bank before nightfall. At night, the Japanese army continued to cross the river, but the squadron had already launched a counterattack, the artillery fire tore the night sky, the 28th Division divided into three ways to enter the beachhead, fought hard for half the night, and annihilated hundreds of Japanese troops crossing the river.

Haneda was prepared for this result, and did not blame anyone, but ordered to stop crossing the river.

"I made a mistake and shouldn't have crossed the river during the day," Haneda sighed and said to the Ogishu soldiers, "We lack air cover, the Imperial Air Force, incompetent!" ”

The soldiers sighed slightly in their hearts, but their tone was still strong and excited: "Commander, rest assured, tomorrow we will rest for a day during the day, and we will continue to force the crossing at night, and we will definitely attract the ** army over and create conditions for Yoshizumi-kun." ”

"Okay, but be careful, after dawn, the ** Air Force will definitely come again to strengthen air defense cover."

The 6th Division made a detour to Macheng and forcibly crossed the Huai River, and then forcibly crossed the Ci River in Yaoshan and inserted it into Huaiyuan's flank.

Huaiyuan's rapid loss made Zhuang Jihua feel uneasy, and he sent an urgent telegram to Li Pinxian, telling him that he could not let Gu Shoufu go west like this, and he must gradually consume the strength of the other party, and only in this way could he finally annihilate them.

However, on the whole, Zhuang Jihua was satisfied with the progress of the battle situation on the southern front, and won a great victory in the air, inflicting heavy damage on the 13th Division of the Japanese army that was attacking head-on, forcing it to stop crossing the river.

The war report released by the theater command filled the city of Xuzhou with an optimistic atmosphere, and the press conference hall was once again full of reporters from all walks of life, but a room on the third floor was full of yin atmosphere, the white body wrapped in bronzed skin rolled on the bed, and the panting sound made people's hearts shake.
